Toasted Tomato Sandwich with Herbed Cream Cheese

by Peter Fehr 26 Jul 2023

Indulge in the delectable flavours of summer with our Toasted Tomato Sandwich featuring a delightful twist - a luscious Herbed Cream Cheese infused with our signature Gourmet Inspirations Veggie Fusion garnish. This scrumptious sandwich showcases the natural sweetness of fresh garden-ripe tomatoes, perfectly complemented by the herbaceous and savoury notes of our Veggie Fusion blend, consisting of sea salt, sesame seeds, onion flakes, and a selection of tantalizing herbs and spices.

To prepare this delightful treat, start by whipping up the Herbed Cream Cheese, combining creamy and tangy cream cheese with the herbaceous allure of Veggie Fusion. Next, layer the cream cheese mixture onto slices of your favourite bread, allowing it to serve as a flavourful foundation for the star ingredient - luscious, juicy tomato slices straight from the garden.

Assemble the sandwich by pairing the bread slices with the Herbed Cream Cheese spread alongside fresh tomatoes, creating a mouthwatering union of rich creaminess and vibrant garden goodness. Once the sandwich is complete, toast it to perfection until the bread turns golden and crispy, enhancing the flavours and textures.

The result is an enchanting harmony of tastes and textures, with the Herbed Cream Cheese's delightful herbal undertones beautifully mingling with the succulent sweetness of the tomatoes. Each bite bursts with a medley of flavours, leaving you with a sense of satisfaction and a craving for just one more mouthful.

Enjoy this Toasted Tomato Sandwich as a refreshing lunchtime option, a delightful snack, or even a crowd-pleasing party appetizer. It's a culinary masterpiece that elevates the classic tomato sandwich to new heights, all thanks to the tantalizing Gourmet Inspirations Veggie Fusion garnish, adding that extra touch of magic to each bite.

So, go ahead and treat your taste buds to this sensational creation - a medley of garden-fresh goodness and savoury creaminess, encased in perfectly toasted bread. A simple yet indulgent recipe that celebrates the joys of summer, bringing together the best of nature's bounty and a fusion of enticing flavours.
